Oncology Care Close to Home

No resources should be spared when fighting cancer. At Titusville Area Hospital, we realize that we have a responsibility to provide the people of our community with accessible and effective cancer treatments. Great strides have been made in this area of medicine, and the outlook is not near as grim as it was 20, or even 10 years ago. The staff working in this department undergo extensive training to provide patients with optimal treatment and maintain a better quality of life. Infusion, chemotherapy, bone marrow biopsies, and more are offered at our clinic.

Partnership with Yolanda G. Barco Oncology Institute

Titusville Area Hospital is affiliated with the Yolanda G. Barco Oncology Institute in Meadville. Through this partnership, we have access to some of the most advanced technology and cancer experts in the nation. Patients have access to an experienced interdisciplinary team consisting of surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, specifically trained nurses, social workers, and knowledgeable support staff.

The TAH oncology staff presence has expanded. Although an oncologist is not on site on non-clinic days, we are able to provide care for patients who are pre-cleared for treatment and clinically stable, such as those receiving maintenance therapies or supportive care. While our primary focus remains oncology and hematology services, we have also begun providing infusion services for neurology patients and anticipate continued growth in this area.

Services currently available include, but are not limited to:

Mediport flushes
Mediport lab draws, including pre-treatment labs for patients receiving care at Yolonda Barco Oncology Institute
Therapeutic phlebotomies
Iron infusions
Vitamin B12 injections
Intravenous (IV) fluids and electrolyte replacement
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) infusions
XGEVA® and PROLIA® injections
Zometa® infusions

Eligard® and Faslodex® injections
Blood transfusions
Chemotherapy and immunotherapy for pre-approved, clinically stable patients (such as those receiving maintenance therapy)

Leqembi® (lecanemab) infusions for eligible neurology patients

I didn’t know what to expect going into it, but Dr. Young really listens and cares deeply for his patients. He and his team came up with a plan for me. His bedside manner was amazing as were all of my nurses: Missy, Robin, and Eliza. They are family to me now. — Jackie VanCise
